Insights and Ideas for Our Handbook

The most useful or helpful things about this guidebook are:

In "Coding Your Future," the standout features for me were definitely the in-depth resources and tools. Duncan clearly put a ton of effort into assembling a treasure trove of coding guides, resume tips, and more. It's like having a coding coach at your fingertips—super handy for navigating the tech world with confidence!

This guidebook would be even better if:

Include a dedicated section for international postgraduate students, outlining how to select course units and navigate the unique challenges they face in Manchester.
Offer guidance on securing employment in a challenging job market, especially for those from different nations. Expand on entrepreneurship opportunities and strategies to maximize one's time in Manchester.
Add a segment focused on quickly revising data structures and algorithms, tailored for postgraduates balancing coursework with job market preparations.
Introduce a more accessible index or search feature to help users quickly locate specific information within the detailed guidebook.

Anything else you'd like to tell us?

The guidebook is really fun and simple to read as it is; I wouldn't want it to change.
A compact version could work, or maybe a website or an app could be developed to create a community feel and encourage more interaction.
A printed copy of the guidebook would be useful, but I'm worried about the amount of paper it would use.
